MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OI MASSA-- DISIIWASHING DEVICE.

Application filed larch 8, 1924. Serial No. 697,962.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. KLAGES, a citizen of the United States,residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State ofMassachusetts, have invented new and useful'Improvements in aDishwashing Device, of which the following is a specification. J

This invention relates to improvements in a dishwashing device which isdesigned to be attached to a hot water faucet. It is so constructed andarranged that by turning or operating a suitable valve, thehot water mayflow through the device and in contact with soap which is locatedtherein, or it may flow through the device as clear hot water forrinsing purposes. Broadly, it comprises a casing member in which islocated a' cake of soap and extending through the casing member is atube for conducting clear hot water for rinsing purposes and a valvewhich is designed to direct the flow of the hot water either in contactwith the interior of the casing containing the soap or through the tubefor rinsing purposes.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is an elevational view showing the device attached to a hot waterfaucet and with the handle portion attached to the hose and the valvefor directing the flow of the water.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig.1 showing the interior construction, and

Fig. 3 is an end elevational view looking from the right of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail '1 designates the usual hot Waterfaucet having a hose 2 attached thereto by any suitable clamping meansas indicated at 3. The opposite end of the hose is connected to the-flange portion 4 of the casting or hub part 5 of the device. 6indicates the handle part of the device through which the tube or hoseconnection 2 loosely extends. The metallic hub part 5 is attached to thehandle 6 by means of the screws 7. Located in the hub part 5 is a valve8having the one way water passage 9 therethrough. The hub portion 5 isformed with the curved passage ways 10, and 11 which is substantially S-12 is a straight passage as shown. Attached to the hub 5 is a cylmdricalcasing 13 by 'means of the threads 14. 15 designates a packing ringinterposed be tween the inner end of the cylindrical mem ber 13 and therecess ortion at the bottom of the threads. The ub 5 is also formed witha threaded portion 16 for receiving the threads on the tube 17 whichextends nearly through the member 13. The outer end of the cylindricalmember 13 is pro vided with a perforated cap 18 having a knurled flange19, a packing ring 20 being interposed between the outer end of thecylindrical member 13 and the cap 18 for providing a water tight joint.The cap 18 1s formed with an integral cone or pyramid-shaped hollowportion 21 that is provided witha threaded opening to receive thethreads 22 on the outer end of the straight tube 17, whereby the cap 18is firmly connect-ed to the cylindrical member 13. The cap 18 is formedwith two circular series of openings or perforations 23 and 24. Theouter series of perforations 23 communicate with the interior of thecasing 13 and the tube 17 communicates with the interior of the cone orpyramid-shaped part 21, whereby the flow of hot water may be caused toflow through either set or Series of perforations, depending upon theposition of the valve 8. 25 designates a cake of sea. which is locatedwithin the casing mem er 13. This cake of soap is formed with an openmg26 to receive the straight tube 17. It should be stated that the widthof the straight water passage way 9 is greater than the arc-shapedsurfaces of the. bearing pore tions 27, 27 27 and 2'? whereby when thevalve 8 is operated the water will flow continuously through the devicewithout being completely shut off or closed in any of its positions.This construction is so made and designed for the purpose of preventingthe hose 2 from being forced away from the tubular portion 4: or fromthe end of the faucet 1, or in other words the water is prevented fromstriking the cap 18 with a blow which might cause the hose to becomedisconnected with the result that the hot water would escape. Before theflow of water is completely shut off from the passage ways 10 and 11,the passage way 12 is partially uncovered. A further turning of thevalve will permit the hot Water to flow through the tube 17. A reverseoperation will partially open the passage ways 10 and 11 before thepassage way 12 is shut off.

Referring to the operation; when the soapy water. After the dishes arethorough--v 1y washed with the soa y water the valve 8 is then rotatedinto t e dotted line posltion 8 permitting the clean hot water to flowthrough the straight tube 17 and throu h the openings 24 whereby thedishes may e thoroughly rinsed of the soapy water. In rotatin' the valve8, in either direction, the widt of the passage way 9,

being greater than the bearing surfaces 27,

27', 27, and 27 permits the water to flow during the operation of thevalve, either through the interior of the casing, or, through the tube17 or partially through both'of the passage ways 11 and 12. In usin thedevice the operator grasps the ban le 6, and turns the thumb part 8 tocause either the soapy or clear water to What I claim is:

1. A device for the urpose described, comprising a casing mem er, a tubeextending therethrough, a hub portion to which one end of the tube isconnected, the hub portion being formed with two passage ways, onecommunicating withhe space within the said member and outside of thetube and the other communicating with the interior of the tube, a capmember for closing the end of the casing member and formed with athreaded partition portion for providin connection with the opposite endof the tu e, which partition is pyramid shaped and integral with the capmember, said cap member having two series of perforations, onecommunicating with the 1nterior of the said casing, and the othercommunicating with the interior of the pyramid shaped partition and thetube, and a valve for directing the flow of water either through theinterior of the casing or through the tube, the casing being designed toreceive a soapy substance, the construction and arrangement of the.valve and its seat being such that one passageway opens before the othercloses.

2. A device for the purpose described comprising ahose member which isdesigned to be attached to a hot water supply faucet,

a handle member through which the hose loosely passes, a hub portionwhich' is formed with a substantially S shaped passage way and anaxially arran ed passage way therein, a. valve formed with a sin lepassage way which in one ositioncoinci es with and forms a part of t e Sshaped passage way and in another position its passage way coincideswith the axially arranged passage for directing the flow of waterthrough either or both passage ways, a cylindrical member, the interiorof which communicates with the S shaped passa e, a tubular membercommunicatmg with t c said axially arranged passage way, a closure capformed with a hollow pyramid shaped portion having one end threaded toreceive the tube and secure it to the end of the casing member and theother end formed with openings, said ca being also formed with other 0enings a ut the base part of the pyrami shaped portion, that communicatewith the interior of the casing.

3. A device for the purpose described, having in combination, a casingmember to receive a soapy substance, a tube extending through thecasing, a perforated closure cap on one end of the casing which isformed with a threaded pyramid shaped hollow portion to which thetubular member is connected by means of the threads to retain the cap onthe said member and with which the tubular member communicates, certainof the erforations communicating with the interior of the pyramid shapedportion and other perforations communicating with the interior of thecasing, a hub member attached to the casing and formed with two passageways, one communicating with the interior of the casing and the otherwith the tube, a valve having a passage way therethrough adapted toregister with either one of the passage ways in the hub member, seatsfor the valve, the passage way in the valve member being of greaterdimensions than the seats for the valve so that when the valve isrotated the flow of water through either of the hub assage ways is notcompletely shut off be ore opening the other of said passage ways, asdescribed.
